Jesus Christ, our Saviour!

“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son. This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed. But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God.” (John 3:16-21)

All of us need to have a high and good standard in something, to get a position or area we are interested in. For example, if we want to go to universities to do further educations, we have to get at least National Certificate of Educational Achievement (N.C.E.A.) level two in literacy and numeracy. Although I didn’t study very and used to hate studying, I got N.C.E.A. level two in English and maths. Therefore, I was qualified to do English for Academic Purposes Level four and Certificate of Computer Servicing in Unitec, to get into a Bible College. While I was studying in Carey Baptist College, I became an intern of Windsor Park as an E-Prayer Lead.  I got this internship because of my biblical knowledge and my praying heart.

However, honouring God through Jesus Christ is different. We don’t need to prove God that we are good by doing deeds. Yes, good deeds are important but what comes first is faith in Jesus. By believing in Him, we can honour God by doing good deeds. To put this simply, good deeds are evidences of becoming a mature believer in Jesus. It’s like to have faith in ourselves. If we believe in ourselves that we are able to do a particular thing, then we could honour ourselves by trying our best. Although my mind does slow processes in getting information, I graduated from the primary to high school and I am studying in Carey Baptist College now to become a Christian Writer. The main reason for this is that I believed in myself and that nothing was impossible. More good illustration for honouring God through faith in Jesus is human relationship-building. Relationships require trust and deeds. If we want to be trusted and good person to another, we have to illustrate those to them by our actions. I am trying to be good and faithful son to my mother, so I am trying to help her in any way I can in spite of my cerebral palsy functions. Therefore, since God illustrated His love to us by making Jesus Christ, to be crucified on the cross for our death penalties (1 John 4:9-10), then let us acknowledge the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus and start to believe in Him.
